Britain’s only Centre of Excellence for leadworkers in the UK construction industry

 

Continuing a noble craftsmanship that stretches back several centuries the Training Centre will help you develop a skill that uses a building material that is green, environmentally friendly and aesthetically attractive for today’s modern structures.

Through your training you will have the ability to turn an architect’s designs into touchable reality.

 

 

Turn into a craftsman with leadworker skills.

 

A craftsman, not a roofer

A skilled leadworker deserves a better title than roofer. Lead roofing in all its forms will outlast any of its modern alternatives by hundreds of years – but only if it is properly installed.

 

That’s where the training you will receive makes a difference and changes you from a roofer to a highly skilled craftsman.

 

Once you have learnt the simple rules of how to use the material correctly; how to shape and boss, how to weld and dress, how to size, fix and set out, you will be on your way to being a skilled Lead craftsman.

 

The courses available take you through from basic skills to a City & Guilds full qualification, but the structure is sufficiently flexible to be tailored to the needs of students, for example taking account of prior knowledge and focussing on a special skill requirement.  To find out more , go to Courses and seminars
